Packing should do.

>>I have a site that started complaining that their CDX table with at least ten tags, some with multiple fields nears the 2 GB limit after several days of production. A search suggests that this is an issue with dBASE compatible tables. The suggestion is to pack the table and re-index regularly. With 24 hour production much of the week, getting exclusive access to the table is problematic. I currently re-use deleted records, but I've seen references that the tags in the CDX file are orphaned for deleted records and can only be recovered by deleting all tags and re-indexing the table. I only use free tables. System was begun nearly 30 years ago, but DBCs were considered but rejected for some reason. This is an inherited application.
